A Wonderful Summer of Very Varied Paddling
Its been a brilliant and very busy summer, my blog has been completely neglected so I hope a few of the following images gives you an idea of some of the activities and adventures we have been busy with. These include furthering our own development, delivering and assisting with courses including 'come and try it' sessions and hosting demo days as well as making time to have a little fun with family and friends....
A Week in the Lakes Over New Year
Several days paddling, two days on Derwentwater, a day on Wast Water and a brilliant journey down the Upper Derwent. A cold but fun few days on this family adventure

River Ure, Mickley to Sleningford in Open Boats
Sunday the 16th of November we headed up to North Yorkshire to lead a group down the rive Ure. The river was just fining down from previous rains and looked at a nice comfortable level - through my untrained eyes.

I was offered the position of leader but on this occasion I declined in preference to observe, concentrate on personal skills and to generally become more comfortable in a white water context.
The day was a brilliant success and goals achieved, Fiona who has spent even less time than me on moving water thoroughly enjoyed the day, a really big thank you to the group for making it happen. All that aside and we even found time to make a little video - check out the grade 3 rapids at the end..
